Idle Animations ingame

[Althea]

So, remember when you created your character, and when you where picking your class, and all the other options that you weren't currently on, where playing sort of an idle animation? They're amazing. And I've love to see them in world, too, instead of the .. blank stare off into space everyone seems to have xD.

Of course, it'd need an option in configuration. Super simple. Super awesome.

You could later add in an option to choose what idle animations are played, but just playing those idle animations in the character creation would be perfect.

.. oh and a barber shop. So we can change our hairstyle/color whenever .

I agree and have it adapt to differnt weather or glaze of the sun

+1'd for sure. But let's get the major overhauls and revamps in first :P

[Althea]

Yeah, major overhauls would def be good.

A simple version of this would just be to use the already-made idle animations play at random intervals while you weren't moving, and add a UI element to turn it on/off. Just "for now" while the big stuff is being cooked up first. I wouldn't want them to spend a lot of time on this, rather than major content.

I think that'd seriously take a programmer 10-30 mins to do. I've scripted something similar before.

Then later they could add in an ability to queue up what animations you want, when they're less busy with major content .

I supprt idle animation...has been asking this for a while too. And it has nothing to do with "revamps"...the team that works on effects, modeling and animations/motion capture is a different one from current ongoing changes. We an have our idle animations without any delaying effect on battle, recipes, jobs or materia system progress.
